MAKE YOURSELF A NEW BODY.

Purge away the old, diseased and worn out
body, said DR.. Brandreth. Replace the discharged
matters Of the system with good, simple food and
thus build up a new and sound body in place Of
one feeble and diseased. Every man should know
that he must be renewed" at least once in two or
three years. else he would soon break down COM
pletely. This renewing process is easily brought
about by purging with BRANDRETH's PILLS.
They put new life into old bodies.

Catarrh

May affect any portion of the body where the mu-
cons membrane is found. But catarrh of the head
is by far the most common, and strange to say the
most liable to be neglected. 1t originates in. a
cold, or succession OF colds combined with impure
blood. The wonderful success HOOPS SARsA
PARILLA has had in curing catarrah warrants JUS
in urging all who suffer with this disease TO try
the peculiar medicine. 1t renOyates and invigor-
ates the blood, and tones every organ.

Moods Training School.

Evangelist Moody has been one of the
most successful of recent preachers TO the
common people, Those vino can not by any
known means be induced to enter an ordin-
ary church to listen 20 the regulation pastor
will flock 10y the thousands to hear him But
whatever Of influence Moody has upon this
class is to a greater or less extent lost when
Moody goes his way, as he does after a brief
revival effort. The churches fail TO gather
and hold the mass of those who have been
lei under his preaching TO enter upon re
igou- life and they soon drift back to their
old companions and irreliSious practices.
De.pairing of any large measure Of perma-
uent success under these conditions and be
iicying that there are any number Of incipi-
cut Mooiy~ who are spoiled in the training,
Mr. Moody now proposes To try his hand At
training lotnfreligou~ theachers in his own
methods and with view 10 the special form
af religious work OF which he has been pre-
emincntly successful In other words Mr.
Moody, in the belief that men Of his own
stamp are plentiful, prnpose- 10 see that they
are trained 20 do his work instead Of be-
ing trained away from IL. a, most theological
students are
His first experiment is to be made in Chi
cage. the scene of his own carly eylngelizing
efforts Ira d. Sankey, his musical co-labor-
er, Is 10 be associated with him in this new
work A quarter of a million of dollars will
be spent in erecting building for the pur-
pose. and the corps ofinstructors will include
the men and women vino have been Mr..
Mopiy> most efficient assistants in the vari-
Gus cities where his work has been carried
on The object Is 10 reach the nonchurrh-
going class. and the pupils in Mr. Moody's
training school are to be sent ont into the
highways and byways of Chicago to get into
sympathetic relations with this class a. a
part of their preparatory training
Il is probable that there is no better place
than Chicago in which to make the initial
experiment in the matter of training prlcti-
cal religious teachers of the Moody type
The experiment viii be watched with inter
est. IfMr Moody can turn out body of
teachers endowed in any approximate degree
with the qualifications that have rendered
him successful in this line above his fellows

THE RICHMOND HOTEL AT BUF-
FALO ENTIRELY DESTROYED.

BrFFALo y Y. March ls.-Anotiier cal
arniiy has visited Bufilo The splendid new
Richmond hotel at the corner of Main and
Eagle Streets. was totally destroyed by fire
carly this morning. together with st. James
hall and other property. The most distress
ing par1 of the disaster is the loss of several
human lives The shrieks and cries of the
poor people in the upper stories Of theiburn-
ing structure were heartrendng. One man,
mad with terror leaped from a third-story
window and was picked up from the stone
sidewalk on Main Street a nangled and
bleeding corpse Several who succeeded in
making their escape were badly injured and
burned. and some Of these will probably die.
OiLers more fortunate escaped with slight
injuries Robert Stafford. sr, proprietor OF
the hotel with his wife, occupied rooms on
the second floor. and had Il narrow escape,
The spread of the flames is said to have
been irightful in its rapidity. The elevator
shaft served as flue for the flames, and they
rushed mp to the top floor in a few moments.
A. the guests were reused and saw the in
terror exits cut of, they turned TO the win
dows They could be seen in their night
clothes standing out clear and vivid before
the urid background Of the flames. Theiy
screams who horrible to hear and they could
be heard for blocks The flames spread to
the southeast side of the hotel first The
tiremen did noble work, and confined the
fire 20 the narrow limits of the three build
ings named Their work of rescue had
many exciting incidents. The telegraph
wire, were, as usual, in the way Of the iId-
der brigade, and much valuable time was lost
Ia getting the ladders past them.
William 4. Airport, night clerk, states that
he was sitting in the Office at $40 o'clock,
when he saw a reflection On the tile floor.
Turning around, ,he saw blaze in the and
cloak room directly under the stairway on
the main hoor. The flames at once dar;ed
up the elevator shaft with tremendous force,
and in an incrediably short space OF time the
interior Of the hotel was filled with smoke
and flame Then terrible scenes began. The
second and thild alarms brought the entire
fire department To the scene, bat it was inn
possible to save any portion of the struc-
ture.
The fire had reached the roof in less than
five minutes from the time it was discover
ed 1t soon reached and gutted st. James
hall occupied at Bunnelis museum and
Tiyoli hall, adjoining and fronting on Wash
ington street. The fire which under control
by O'Clock. was confined 10 the Richmond

the saloon of James Creighton and the cigar
store of j. 4. Palacio on the Main Street
